This week, Congresswoman Kim Schrier joined community leaders and staff at Food Lifeline–an organization that supplies Washington food banks–to discuss how the recent passage of Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill is endangering access to food by dramatically cutting nutrition assistance programs. 

“The unconscionable cuts to food assistance programs in the Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill mean that more children will go to bed hungry,” said Congresswoman Schrier. “When people can’t use SNAP benefits to shop at local grocery stores and support the economy, they turn to food banks. All of this is happening at a time when DOGE is cutting essential programs, including those that supply local food banks with fresh produce from farms across Washington, and as economic strain is already making it harder for people to donate to food banks. It is morally bankrupt and just plain wrong that Republicans are leaving my constituents hungrier, sicker, and poorer to give massive tax breaks to billionaires.

“Earlier this year, the newly elected Congress cut billions from school meal programs and food pantries. Now, their recently passed budget reconciliation bill includes the largest cup to SNAP in history, resulting in the loss of up to 9 billion meals each year nationwide”, says Food Lifeline’s Interim CEO, Megan Blado Cooper. “We believe that access to culturally relevant, nourishing food is a basic human right, and partisan politics should be off the table.”

The Republican-led budget bill cuts SNAP by 20 percent while forcing states to cover a greater share of SNAP’s costs, which could lead to dozens of states, such as Washington, being forced to eliminate SNAP entirely. Hundreds of thousands of households in Washington State, half with children, depend on SNAP assistance to access vital nutrition. The Trump Administration is cutting support for food assistance and Apple Health to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest.

Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday, Reps. Carol Miller (R-WV), Suzan DelBene (D-WA), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), and Jim Costa (D-CA) introduced H.R. 4470, The Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act. This bipartisan legislation modernizes and streamlines the organ donation process by requiring hospitals participating in Medicare and Medicaid to send automated electronic notifications to their designated Organ Procurement Organizations (OPO) when a patient dies or meets criteria for imminent death. It also requires remote electronic access to a patient’s health records to be granted to the OPO at that time—ensuring faster and more informed decision-making in critical moments.

“Over 35 million Americans are living with Chronic Kidney Disease. In my home state of West Virginia, nearly 4,000 individuals are experiencing kidney failure and are reliant on frequent dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive. As Co-Chair of the Congressional Kidney Caucus, I have introduced and supported legislation that addresses the needs of these individuals and helps them receive life-saving medical care. The Removing Burdens from Organ Donation Act will bring much needed reform to the organ donation process by simplifying the existing procedures and saving valuable time when viable organs become available. By removing bureaucratic red tape, we can save more lives and secure more organ transplants for patients in need,” said Rep. Carol Miller. 

“Organ transplant lists grow every day and families are waiting longer for the call that can give their loved ones the gift of life. This bill would cut through unnecessary red tape that slows down the organ donation process. By streamlining and automating how hospitals notify Organ Procurement Organizations, we can save valuable time and more lives,” said Rep. Suzan DelBene. 
 
“Organ donation saves lives, but too often, outdated processes, and unnecessary red tape stands in the way. By cutting bureaucratic delays and modernizing the referral process, this legislation will ensure that more donor organs reach the patients who desperately need them. I’m proud to lead this bipartisan effort that brings commonsense, life-saving reforms to a system that many families depend on,” said Rep. Van Duyne.
 
“The Removing Burdens from Organ Donation Act is a vital step towards strengthening our nation’s organ transplant system by advancing communications between hospitals and Organ Procurement Organizations. This legislation bypasses burdens to streamline efficient organ donor referrals through technology to reduce delays and assist timely coordination. It’s a practical and commonsense solution to ensure more lives are saved,” said Rep. Jim Costa.
 
Experts and leaders in the transplant community praised the bill for its potential to improve patient outcomes and make the organ donation process more efficient:
 
“This legislation will strengthen the existing deceased organ donor referral process by leveraging technology to streamline the way hospitals and organ procurement organizations communicate with one another. Studies have found that automated deceased donor referral software tools increase the number of organ donors – a significant impact since one organ donor can save up to eight lives. Thank you, U.S. Reps. Van Duyne, DelBene, Miller, and Costa for your leadership in advocating for patients. UNOS looks forward to continuing to work with you to help more patients get the lifesaving transplant they need,” said Maureen McBride, Ph.D., CEO of UNOS.

“Without a doubt, the Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act will save lives. The organ procurement organization that received the very first automated electronic donor referral. “Securely integrating systems between hospitals and organ procurement organizations through automated electronic donor referrals and remote access protocols will streamline operations, reduce costs, and increase patient safety. We are incredibly grateful for Rep. Van Duyne and the work she has done to remove burdens from the organ donation process,” said Brad Adams, President & CEO of Southwest Transplant Alliance.
 
“The Association of Organ Procurement Organizations applauds Representatives Van Duyne, DelBene, Miller, and Costa for introducing legislation that streamlines hospital organ donor referrals and improves organ procurement organizations’ access to vital patient information. By reducing delays and supporting timely coordination with donor families, this bill will help ensure more lives are saved through organ donation,” said a spokesperson for the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations. 

“On behalf of the American Society of Transplantation (AST), representing a majority of the nation’s medical professionals engaged in the field of solid organ transplantation, we applaud the continuous leadership and steadfast resolve of Representatives DelBene, Costa, Miller, and Van Duyne to strengthen the nation’s organ transplant system. The AST endorses the ‘Removing Burdens from Organ Donation Act’ as a commonsense approach to bring great efficiencies to the system and our patients,” said Dr. Jon Kobashigawa, M.D. President, American Society of Transplantation (AST).

“LifeGift, the health services agency that coordinates organ and tissue donation in Houston, Fort Worth, Lubbock and Amarillo, Texas, supports the Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act sponsored by Representatives Van Duyne, DelBene, Miller, and Costa as a hugely important performance improvement intervention to make potential donor referrals from hospital to organ procurement organization faster and more efficient. LifeGift has received 19,463 potential referrals so far in 2025 and received 35,952 referrals in 2024; all of which were made by phone between hospital staff and LifeGift. Moving these referral calls to an electronic notification allows critical care staff to focus on patient care and gives the organ donation team precious time to begin their lifesaving work,” said Kevin Myer, President & CEO of LifeGift.
 
“With more than 90,000 Americans on the kidney transplant waitlist, it is imperative that our organ transplant system function as efficiently as possible to help as many of them receive a kidney as quickly as possible. The Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act would help both hardworking donor hospital teams and organ procurement organization teams—who together make kidneys available for transplant—benefit from readily-available technology to speed the lifesaving work they lead every day across the country. I commend Reps. Van Duyne, DelBene, Miller, and Costa for their leadership in support of kidney transplant candidates awaiting a lifesaving organ and the multidisciplinary teams who make that hope a reality,” said the American Society of Nephrology President Prabir Roy-Chaudhury, MD, PhD, FASN.
 
“On behalf of every kidney patient managing organ failure and their families, the American Association of Kidney Patients extends our most sincere appreciation to Representative Van Duyne and her Congressional colleagues, Representatives Susan DelBene, Carol Miller, and Jim Costa, for their serious and substantive bipartisan efforts to address America’s organ shortage through the Removing Barriers to Organ Donation Act. Representative Van Duyne has been a remarkably insightful and empathetic advocate for kidney patients and we are honored to fully support the policy efforts she and her colleagues have undertaken to prioritize transplantation over status quo, high mortality dialysis and its associated legacy of dependence and disability,” said Mr. Edward V. Hickey, IIII, a chronic kidney disease patient and the President of the American Association of Kidney Patients (AAKP), America’s largest kidney patient organization. 
 
“This bipartisan bill takes a commonsense, life-saving step forward by streamlining communication between hospitals and organ procurement organizations. It will help ensure fewer transplant opportunities are missed and that more families facing kidney failure can hold onto hope for a second chance. We’re grateful to Congress for working to remove burdens that cost lives,” said Susan Bushnell, President and CEO of the Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) Foundation.
 
“Better information means better care. The Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act ensures timely, secure access to vital records so the entire care team can act quickly and decisively. This bipartisan bill is a commonsense step toward more efficient, life-saving kidney donation and offers hope to people living with kidney failure,” said Margaret French, Managing Director of Legislative Affairs, Alliance for Home Dialysis.
 
The Removing Burdens From Organ Donation Act is supported by a broad coalition of stakeholders across the transplant and kidney care communities, including:

• DaVita
• Fresenius Medical Care
• United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS)
• Southwest Transplant Alliance
• Donor Network West (San Francisco, CA)
• Louisiana Organ Procurement Agency

Washington, DC – Today, the House of Representatives voted to pass H.R. 3095, a bill co-led by Congressman Steil, which updates and modernizes ZIP codes to reflect current municipal boundaries and address USPS mail delays. 

Communities in Wisconsin and across the country currently face challenges due to outdated ZIP codes.  These challenges include misdirected mail, delays in emergency service response times, higher insurance rates, confusion with local taxes and tax rebates, confusion over polling places, and incorrect jury summons. H.R. 3095 addresses these unnecessary complications by directing USPS to create ZIP codes that align with current municipal boundaries. Following the bill’s passage, Congressman Steil released the following statement:

“ZIP code boundaries that don’t match community boundaries cause needless headaches and frustration for families throughout Wisconsin; something I have heard from residents and community leaders in places like Mount Pleasant, Somers, Caledonia, Franklin, and Rochester,” said Steil. “This bill directs the USPS to modernize these ZIP codes to fix the many problems they cause, such as delayed emergency response times, higher insurance rates, tax confusion, and misdirected mail. I am grateful to see this bill pass the House.” 

“For years, the Village of Mount Pleasant has had issues with incorrect USPS ZIP code boundaries affecting our residents. I’d like to thank Congressman Steil for his work moving this issue forward in the House and advocating for our community,” saidMount Pleasant Village President David DeGroot.

“I want to thank Congressman Steil and the House for standing up for Wisconsin families. The House’s work will help correct this longstanding issue and deliver real benefits to families in Caledonia,” said Caledonia Village President Tom Weatherston.

WASHINGTON — Reps. Lloyd Smucker and Vern Buchanan, Chair of the Health Subcommittee on Ways and Means, announced that he introduced the Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act alongside Dwight Evans (D-Pa.). Senators Tim Scott (R-S.C.) and Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) introduced companion legislation in the Senate. This bipartisan legislation would enable hospitals to extend successful “Hospital at Home” programs for an additional five years. 

In November 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) established the Acute Hospital Care at Home waiver to provide hospitals with increased flexibility to care for certain patients from the comfort and convenience of their homes, rather than in a hospital setting. According to the American Hospital Association, this model has been proven to “reduce costs, improve outcomes and enhance the patient experience.” 

“Innovative care models, like delivering acute care through Hospital at Home, provide patients high-quality care at lower costs. Extending this commonsense policy is a clear win for both patients and taxpayers. Hospital systems across my district have successfully used Hospital at Home to care for patients safely and effectively. Congress should come together again to extend these provisions and give more patients the flexibility to receive acute care and recover comfortably in their own homes,” said Rep. Smucker. 

“Our nation is getting sicker and sicker, but programs like ‘Hospital at Home’ allow us to treat patients more efficiently while delivering high-quality care at a lower cost,” said Buchanan. “Home health services are especially crucial for the nearly 200,000 seniors in my district. The Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act would ensure that more than 200 hospitals across 34 states, including 23 in Florida, can continue participating in this program and provide quality care to those in need. We must ensure this life-changing model remains available for years to come.” 

A recent report from CMS shows that allowing patients to be treated in a more familiar environment and routine accelerates recovery time, lowers the mortality rate and reduces the risk of hospital-acquired infections and falls. This legislation would extend the current hospital-at-home waiver program through 2030, allowing hospitals to continue participating and providing quality care to patients. 

The legislation also requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and CMS to conduct a comprehensive study comparing home-based care and inpatient care across several key criteria, including care quality, rates of infection, hospital readmission and levels of satisfaction among patients and their caregivers. Based on the findings of this evaluation, CMS would then be directed to issue formal health and safety regulations to govern the program moving forward. 

“The American healthcare system must evolve to meet the needs of the patients in the 21st century,” said Senator Scott. “Hospital-at-home care provides better outcomes for patients while reducing costs. This legislation ensures that successful programs like this can continue to serve families across South Carolina and the nation.” 

“This legislation is about protecting access to quality health care, lowering costs for patients, and improving the health and well-being of our family and neighbors,” said Senator Warnock. “I will always work to lower costs and increase health care access for Georgians, and I urge my colleagues to support this bipartisan effort.” 

“The Hospital at Home program has been working for patients of Redeemer Health in the Philadelphia area, and for patients of other health systems across the country. I’m happy to partner with my Ways and Means Committee colleague to continue, improve and expand this program that helps a lot of people,” said Rep. Evans. 

The legislation is supported by the American Hospital Association.

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs (R-AZ) led a letter to Senate Majority Leader John Thune urging the Senate to preserve the entire $9.4 billion in spending cuts contained in the House rescission package. The Senate has a chance to prove its commitment to President Trump’s America First mandate by passing the long-overdue cuts targeting wasteful bloat. Provisions in the House rescission package include:

• $1.07 billion in cuts to National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS);
• $900 million in cuts to Global Health Programs promoting abortion pills, LGBTQ+ activism, and DEI dogma abroad;
• $125 million in cuts to the Clean Technology Fund (CTF), a vehicle for funneling billions into Green New Deal-style projects in foreign nations.

“At $37+ trillion in debt, our nation is careening toward a financial cliff,” said Congressman Biggs. 

“$9.4 billion is a small drop in the bucket of wasteful spending that must be reined in, but cutting taxpayer dollars to mouthpieces for the Left and radical, woke programs abroad is a commonsense start. If Congress refuses to support modest cuts like those included in the House’s rescission package, fiscal doom is inevitable.

“I urge the Senate to stand firm and reject the D.C. status quo. Preserve the cuts passed by the House.”

Cosigners of the letter include: Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC), Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA), Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Rep. Keith Self (R-TX), Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX), Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL), Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN), Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-OK), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA), Rep. Sheri Biggs (R-SC), Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ), and Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD).

WASHINGTON, DC – Reps. Judy Chu (CA-28) and Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) led 40 of their colleagues in a letter to the Trump Administration demanding the immediate release of federal funding for a vital senior jobs training and community service program. The current delay has left thousands of low-income older Americans without pay and deprived communities of needed services.

In their letter to Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought, the Members urged the immediate release of funding for national grantees of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). Through SCSEP, low-income seniors receive jobs training, earn a paycheck, and in return provide essential services to their communities. In Program Year (PY) 2022, over 42,000 seniors provided over 20.4 million hours of community service.

The letter emphasizes that SCSEP grantees rely on the DOL’s timely release of the Training and Employment Guidance Letter (TEGL), which provides annual allotments for grantees. Although the PY2025 TEGL for state and territorial grantees was published on July 1, 2025—the start of the Program Year—the DOL has still not published a TEGL for national grantees and has not provided a timeline for its publication.

This delay has impacted national grantees operating in California, Washington, Indiana, North Carolina, and Oklahoma, among others.

“We have already begun to see the devastating impacts of this delay,” wrote the Members. “For example, the National Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and SCSEP national grantee, based in Washington, which serves limited-English proficient older adults from various ethnic groups, has already furloughed 800 low-income seniors due to this funding uncertainty.” 

“Because there is no clear timeline for when furloughs will end, this uncertainty is causing deep distress among program participants, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck and rely on the income they earn through SCSEP to make ends meet. The funding delay is also harming entire communities, as nonprofits and other local businesses are losing the critical support of SCSEP-supported trainees and volunteers due to furloughs,” the Members continued.

The letter concludes by urging DOL and OMB to expend PY25 SCSEP funds to national grantees immediately and make them retroactive to July 1, 2025. 

This letter is endorsed by: the National Asian Pacific American Center for Aging, Easterseals, Goodwill Industries International, National Caucus & Center on Black Aging (NCBA), Life Skills of America, Inc., The WorkPlace, Easterseals-Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain Inc., Diverse Elders Coalition, National Urban League, National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA), National Council on Aging (NCOA), Institute for Indian Development, Inc., and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF).
